I'm Lovin' It!

Watching all of your videos has been so fun! I hope you enjoyed my comments. If you need a few more videos to watch, here are the links to our classmates pages with videos already posted. Good luck and good blogging to all!

Katie DID From this video I saw how fun it would be to have students create an adventure to tell with pictures. This could meet any of the Language Arts core standards. (Katie Matthews)

Hooray for You This video helped me see that using existing text but adding personalized pictures can really make a lot of difference in a story. The actual photographs made this familiar story seem a lot more important to me. (Kami Orr)

Hatchet Trailer Wow, what a riveting book talk! I never would have thought to use a digital storybook as an intro to a classroom novel, but this showed me what a great success it could be. (Sabrina Huyett)

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Trailer Using photos from a video that students may have seen before was ingenious. I know that in my experience I always like the book better and some students might also. Having a male voice in the video also captured my attention more than a female. (Ashley Daley)

Real A to Z How wonderful it would be to use this in a classroom with ELLs. It's hard to find good picture books with realia type pictures. Creating your own, like this would be very beneficial. (Becky Edmonds)

We Are Family This one reminded me of my own a little bit. Just the idea of self in relation to family. Also the idea of describing likes and dislikes shows comparison in a more general form than the describers in textbooks. (Whitney Marie)
